: Our upstairs bathtub does not drain out after use. The water puddles and sits somewhere in the middle of the tub. There is some leakage beneath because our ceiling in the bathroom directly below has brown water rings. What's my next step?

Debbie,Using a small hand snake will clear the drain. If water persists on your ceiling, you will need to locate the source. It could be the oveflow of the drain, the lower part, or it could be water over the edge of the tub, around the faucet or tub spout. It could also be a leaking enclousure. Terry
